The Kaloud Lotus I+ is the heat management device that defined the category. At Melbourne's Shisha Store we've had Lotus HMDs on the counter for years and they're still the one our team recommends most often. This is the Niris Black finish — matte black for customers who want the HMD to blend in rather than catch the light.

Kaloud Lotus I+ in Niris Black — high-grade aluminium heat management device

Why the Lotus I+ earns its reputation

• Eliminates foil entirely — place directly on a flat-lipped phunnel bowl for clean, consistent heat transfer.
• Adjustable AirFlow Control lid lets you tune heat by opening or closing the vents as the session runs.
• High-grade aluminium at just ~120 g — light in the hand, durable through heavy use.
• ~60-minute average session on 2 large coconut coal cubes with the lid on.
• Compatible with most standard phunnel bowls, including the Kaloud Samsaris.
• Non-toxic proprietary colouring method — no anodising, no powder coating.

Worth knowing

The coal depot fits 2 large cubes maximum — this is the I+ (the original), not the larger I+3. If you want longer sessions with 3–4 coals, the Lotus I+3 is the upgrade. Our team at Melbourne's Shisha Store can walk you through both side by side.

How to use it

• Pack your phunnel bowl with shisha to just below the spire.
• Place the Lotus I+ directly on the bowl — no foil required.
• Load 2 fully lit natural coconut coals inside.
• Close the lid for maximum heat, open the vents for cooler, lighter sessions.
• Adjust vent position through the session to manage flavour and cloud output.

Care

• Let the Lotus cool fully after each session before handling.
• Soak in warm water with mild dish soap to loosen residue.
• Soft brush or cloth for carbon buildup on the base.
• No abrasive scrubbers — they'll mark the finish.
• Dry thoroughly before storing.

FAQ

Which phunnel bowls work with the Lotus I+?

Most flat-lipped phunnel bowls including the Kaloud Samsaris. At Melbourne's Shisha Store we can test-fit the Lotus on your bowl before you buy if you bring it in.

Lotus I+ or I+3 — which should I get?

I+ is the original, ~120 g, 2-coal capacity, ~60-minute sessions. I+3 has a stainless steel base, ~190 g, 4-coal capacity, ~90-minute sessions. I+ is the lighter, more economical option; I+3 is for longer sessions. Come in and our team will explain the difference in person.
